SUMMERHILL ROAD CENSUS RETURNS
The first British census was held in 1801, and with the
exception of 1941 there has been one every 10 years since. Census enumerators
distributed forms to heads of households and returned a few days later to collect the
forms and help those who were illiterate to fill them in. Unfortunately census returns are
closed to public access for 100 years to protect confidentiallity - so only census records
for 1841 to 1901 are currently available
